Chapter 1122 Mine
There is no deep valley. It was not originally a valley that existed in the Qinling Mountains.
But after the end of the world, the earth suddenly cracked, revealing a deep valley.
Later, after it was discovered by the Shengjing District, it was artificially expanded and became larger and deeper.
Today, it is no longer the open-air valley before, but a mysterious area covered by a huge cover.
Entering the valley from the entrance, you will see a bright and warm place. It has already been shrouded in modern facilities.
But in the center of the valley, the huge pit, like a devil's eye, seemed to be able to swallow everything in the world.
But the miners here seem to have already become accustomed to everything.
Carrying miner's lamps in their hands, they took the elevator into the deep pit. The huge pit was several kilometers in diameter. Even if the largest searchlight was shined into it, they could not see the bottom.
I don’t know how deep it is here, as if it goes straight to Hades.
Even the most experienced miner needs to take a deep breath to calm down when going down.
And there are actually thousands of such miners in Wuyou Valley!
They went down like ants carrying tools and oxygen bottles.
There are hundreds of elevators. People go down here and people come up there.
They carried a huge special bag with them. When they came up, the bag emitted a special blue light in the darkness.
Someone immediately came over from the edge of the cave, took over the ore they excavated, and placed it on the assembly line.
In the end, these ores will be transported by train to Xuelong City, and after a series of processing, they will finally be supplied to the headquarters of Shengjing Region [Shengjing City].
The miners here have long been numb.
They work like ants every day.
Because this is their only remaining value, otherwise they would not be able to get food and survive.
The people sent here are ordinary people who have been found to have no talent for supernatural awakening.
There are almost no professional miners. Their task is to use their lives to descend into the unknown depths and then dig out this rare luminous ore from the huge wall.
Almost every day, some people go crazy in fear of the abyss, and some people slip and fall into the abyss and die.
But no one cares about this, because everyone who comes here knows that they will either die under the cold and biting snowstorm outside, or sooner or later die in the terrifying abyss.
Live, live like a dog.
The meaning of their lives is only life itself and nothing else.
Around this huge mine, there is no shortage of Longming Guards with guns and live ammunition. They look at everything in front of them indifferently.
Any miner who thought of resisting would be shot to death.
And this kind of madman appears from time to time.
But as long as one is killed, the cycle of such madmen appearing will be lengthened.
Thousands of meters deep under the earth, there is a dim, tens of thousands of meters long pit wall. Each ant-like miner holds a chisel in his hand and is digging hard for the ore inlaid like pearls on the wall.
A young miner with a thin face and numb eyes forcefully chipped away a piece of ore.
He stared blankly at the large piece of ore emitting light blue light in his hand, thinking: This is probably some kind of mine with strong radiation! Maybe I won't die in the abyss, but will be radiated by it, turning into a monster and dying miserably.
At this moment, there seemed to be a penetrating cry in his ears.
"Hiss Ka——"
The survival instinct brought him fear of the unknown, and the miner looked around in panic.
But there was only darkness all around, and the position of the miner, who was as small as him, could only be determined through the little light in the distance.
"Hiss Ka——"
This time the sound was closer.
The miner swallowed, the fear in his eyes getting stronger.
"Is...what is there?"
Soon, he heard other sounds, it was the "click-click" sound of something stuck on the wall.
He realized something was approaching rapidly.
The extreme fear made him suddenly take off the miner's lamp on his head and shine it into the endless abyss below him.
"Fuck me!! Get out of here!!"
Extreme fear brought extreme anger, and he mustered up the courage to roar.
However, when he saw the thing clearly, the extreme fear once again overwhelmed his anger.
On the wall of the abyss, a seven- or eight-meter-long insect was leaning against the wall, raising its head and staring at him.
It was a giant centipede-shaped monster with hundreds of long and thick limbs stretched on the wall, and its head had a slender mouth.
It has no eyes, but the young miner always feels that it is "looking" at him.
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
The young miner yelled in fear and tried his best to send signals to the people above.
"Pull me up quickly, pull me up quickly! There are monsters, there are monsters here!!!"
Before he finished speaking, the giant centipede had already rushed over. Its slender mouth opened like petals and turned into four petals. Each petal was covered with sharp barb-like teeth.
The lifting of the elevator is controlled by the people above. Miners are not allowed to go up because they have not mined enough ore.
At this time, the little leader in charge of the elevator was sitting in a small white aluminum alloy room, crossing his legs, blowing oil, and holding a novel leisurely in his hand.
This kind of work from the old era has become a rare form of entertainment for the people at the bottom during this time of energy shortage.
Suddenly, the miner's cry for help came from the intercom of Miner No. 58.
The person in charge sneered disdainfully, "Another one is crazy!"
He didn't want to pay any attention to it at all. At worst, the guy would fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces, or feed the unknown creatures that might exist underground, which would save them the effort of dealing with it.
It is common for miners who enter the abyss to become insane, and people here have long been used to it.
But while the person in charge continued to indulge in the classic plot in the novel, an extremely penetrating voice came from the intercom.
"Click - click -"
The miners' screams ended briefly, but the sounds of chewing and gnawing bones that followed did not end.
The person in charge swallowed and looked out the window cautiously.
Outside, there is the office of Captain Longming Guard. If there is an accident in the mine, you need to report to that person.
The person in charge immediately shook his head when he thought of the scary officer.
"It's just a death. Just pretend it didn't happen."
"Even if there are any strange creatures underground, they will definitely leave when they are full. There are plenty of miners anyway."
But soon, he could no longer pretend that nothing happened.
Because the rows of intercoms above the table were all flashing crazily.
The screams and the monster's infiltrating roar flooded into his ears like a tide.
